I am browsing the forum on an iOS device using Safari. When browsing the forum I will get redirected to a page with the Lyft app icon, a button that says Open App, and a button that says Download. Then I get redirected to the app store. This is quite annoying an makes browsing on my phone quite impossible. I noticed that the redirect seems to happen right after the ads load, so perhaps there is a bad ad (or that is just coincidence).
It's a bad ad, and they've been getting worse with each passing week to be honest. It's making mobile reading a bit of a chore.

I found that disabling JavaScript in the safari settings prevents the ads from taking over. Makes posting a little funny, and card popups don't work. And I am sure that other sites will behave strange as well.
I also noticed that every once in a while (maybe 1 in every 50 page views) I get brought to an app called "Draft Kings" in the app store.
I have had all the above happen to me too lately. Running ios 8.1 on 4s. However, a trick I learned was that right after the page loads, if I click reload and then press stop immediately after safari just keeps me on the same page and I don't get redirected.

Had to disable JavaScript to even be able to write this, which prevents edits... So sorry for the double post. "Has ally" should be "basically." DraftKings as is now doing the same thing (when JavaScript is enabled).

I'm getting hit with these ads pretty hard tonight. It's the DraftKings app that keeps taking me away from browsing the forums, nearly every page I've accessed tonight.
Let me know if any other details are needed.
